Futher, given Obama’s privileged treatment by the media from network anchors to Letterman/Leno, many whites see Obama’s candidacy as the ultimate black preference program.

Now, we may have a black President who, we who are sane know, is bound to fail in both his domestic and foreign policies. His failure will be seen as much, or even more, as a failure of the “affirmative action” that got him elected as it will be of his impossible policies.

For this, the perception of blacks actually being a privileged class will prevail and all blacks will suffer as his election and failed presidency will set back race relations in the Country for at least a generation.

I’m sad for Desmond, whose tuition fund is depleted. Furthermore, what’s the legality of using $$ from a home-equity loan in such a manner?

In any case, (and I will preface this by saying I have a lot of black friends and would certainly say this to them.) What I saw is what I assume to be the soul of the average black American. They want the guy that is “one of them”, they want the guy that is going to promote THEIR agenda. They don’t care how it will effect the country.

I want the guy that is going to promote the country’s agenda…you know life, liberty and all that “stuff” that I guess some have forgotten is our country’s agenda.

I am being “deployed” to a battleground state tomorrow. I got a call confirming various times and jobs and I interrupted the young man and said, I will be at your beck and call from Saturday through election day. He apologized and said, almost reverently, oh thank you, we look forward to having you here.

I don’t care if they have me make phone calls, knock on doors, go and get coffee or stand in front of a big box store. That’s not the point. I will be there for support and I have no illusions that they will mine me for my talents, hidden or otherwise.

This type of article in the Sun-Times concerns me. If the young senator from Illinois does win…

There will be a debt to pay.

Black folks will be ecstatic about making history, but they won’t settle for history. We are still treading on an uphill climb. A national black agenda is non-negotiable. There may be a New Black coming to the White House, but it’s still the same old USA.

Mrs. Stewart is nothing more than a bitter collection of perceived slights and grievances that arise from her ingrained racism. She occupies an alternate reality founded on the same class-struggle talking points that define Teleprompter Jesus. Speaking of whom, please re-read his Philadelphia speech from March and filter it through what we now know of his views of The Constitution and wealth redistribution. The underlying message of that speech is “different identity groups have many reasons to be at one-another’s throats, but let’s pull it together long enough to stick it to the rich.”

Anyone is free to disagree with that interpretation of the speech. Anyone is free to gloss over the racist motivations driving Mrs. Stewart to support That One. But one thing is undeniably true, and that is that Mrs. Stewart volunteers at cost to herself to canvass for the monster who voted twice as a state senator to defend infanticide.

“Too monotonous for Michelle, who, White [the partner in charge of the firm’s advertising group, of which Obama was a member] says, complained that the work he gave her was unsatisfactory. He says he gave her the Coors beer ads, which he considered one of the more glamorous assignments they had. Even then, he says, “she at one point went over my head and complained [to human resources] that I wasn’t giving her enough interesting stuff, and the person came down to my office and said, ‘Basically she’s complaining that she’s being treated like she’s a second-year associate,’ and we agreed that she was a second-year associate. I had eight or nine other associates, and I couldn’t start treating one of them a lot better.”

White says he talked to Michelle about her expectations, but the problem could not be resolved because the work was what it was. He is not sure any work he had would have satisfied her. “I couldn’t give her something that would meet her sense of ambition to change the world.””

The lady for example is from Maryland and is quoted as bad mouthing Republicans for being alike. Why didn’t the reporter ask if she support Michael Steele? After all wouldn’t it be great if Maryland had a black senator.

The lady for example goes to PA to help Obama. Did he ask why she didn’t support Lynn Swann? Did he ask what did she think of Governor Rendell calling people racists.

Did the report ask what he thought of Obama saying that people are voting against him only because he’s black.

Did the reporter just once ask what policy or policies does she hope Obama supports?

Did the reporter ask if money was tight how much did you spend to go to Denver? Wouldn’t it be better to spent on your car?

And I think I disagree with some of the comments about how she thinks she’s being misused by the younger whites. She has a set of value like you shouldn’t eat pizza for a dinner with your feet on the table. The saddest part is that this lady apparently has some set of conservative values and we the republican party can’t appeal to her and other blacks.

I have little doubt morons around here will be electing Klammie KillwealthPatrick to some office when his 5 year probation/moratorium of ability to hold Public office is up.

Go sell crazy somewhere else, we’re all full here.

as to your comment title B&W… a lighter note… was glad to see Craig Ferguson, at least make some joke in relation to Barack, that this election was “black and white… literally!” Since almost any joke about the Big BO (read:stench) is off limits normally.

This woman goes around collecting grievances and slights. The kids dress down on Sunday and have pizza…that’s a slight on her and her dressed up friend.

She wants to give Michelle Obama a note but she imagines that the “white girls” will sneer at her so she doesn’t do it but quietly seethes about it.

The campaign people call her by her first name because that’s what you do in a campaign and she takes offense at that and bristles they should call her Mrs.

There’s a long social history of antagonism between blacks and asians because of the often peremptory style of asians (hey Donell, er I mean, Mrs Stewart, Asians are like that with white people too…it’s a different culture) So the guy (young, Asian,) gives a “quick and emotionless” briefing and she, of course, takes offense that he doesn’t greet her personally and so on and doesn’t respect her and yada yada.

Now, this is a volunteer, who has a fulltime job in the bureacracy handing out gummint cheese of some kind, so she’s not a staff worker on the campaign and she doesn’t have any political experience (Taking the kid’s tuition money and using it to pay your own way to the DNC in Denver doesn’t count as experience). So she’s doing the kind of part time work we all have done in campaigns — leafletting, calling people, registering people etc.

I’m at a loss to see why you think she is being abused by the campaign. This work is its own reward.

Don’t get me wrong — I think it is a great moment in our history long overdue frankly and I am thrilled to see so many people involved in the campaign. It’s my opinion that obama is not worthy of these people’s hard work, faith and sacrifice, but that’s a different story.

What you have here is someone who can’t get beyond a lifetime of real and imagined slights to enjoy the experience, she forces everyone around her to share her commitment.

Yes, it is a good experience for her son, but…here you have a nineteen-year old kid living off his mother having lost his football scholarship. Tough break, but did you ever hear of something called…let’s see…it’s that thing that you’re going to get after Barack is elected…oh yeah, a job. Or go in the army and learn to support yourself. I think that would be more useful than resentfully handing out leaflets.

No, the only one in the bunch who has his head screwed on straight is the boyfriend. He puts it like this:

“When I wake up on election day it will be tuesday. If Obama wins it will still be Tuesday. I don’t see how at the level people are working here, Obama’s election will change their lives…I think it is great, but I don’t see him becoming President changing my life that much.”

Exactly. Of course, he’s a Maryland State Trooper (thank you!) and he knows a bit about life.

One way or another, this poor woman will be disappointed.

Now the frustrating part… She is highly educated. How can such a person not see through the radical Barack Obama? This guy does not believe in constitution. He wants courts to implement radical change. He wants to “fundamentally” change America in terms of foreign policy, economy and liberty(fairness doctrine). The same fundamentals which made America the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of mankind. As far as race is concerned nobody is saying there is no racial divide. This divide has been there since a long long time. Has America progressed in terms of race relations since 30 years? Absolutely. It might take another one or maybe two centuries to go away completely. But this is a 2 way street. 95% blacks voting for Barack is as racist as some percentage of whites(not sure abt percentage) not voting for him because of color of his skin.

I am sure this woman will do great in conservative club.

Of course we can’t wish her good luck.
